[phenixbb] Autobuild error message

[Tom Terwilliger]

Hi Bryan,
I'm sorry for the trouble!

AutoBuild is running phenix.refine and asking it to write out  
"refine_pdb_in.mtz".  After phenix.refine is done, it looks for this  
file and if it is missing it will stop.

There are two possibilities. Can you check if the file is really  
missing or not:

ls -ltr AutoBuild_run_2_/TEMP0/refine_pdb_in.mtz


1. AutoBuild_run_2_/TEMP0/refine_pdb_in.mtz really is missing:  This  
means that something has gone wrong that is not anticipated. Can you  
in this case send me the data to run here?  If not, have a look at the  
last set of files written in AutoBuild_run_2_/TEMP0/ ... do these log  
files help in any way?

2.  AutoBuild_run_2_/TEMP0/refine_pdb_in.mtz is not missing, it was  
just written after the check for its presence was over.  This can  
happen if you are on an nfs file system and it is slow.  I have just  
finished adding code to AutoBuild to wait for files to appear to get  
around this problem...so if you try tomorrow's build it is possible  
this will be fixed. You may need to change the parameter  
"max_wait_time" to a longer time (default=0.1 sec).

Let me know if this doesn't do it!
All the best,
Tom T
